The killings in Newtown CT today were a preventable tragedy. Assault weapons should be illegal in the United States.

We need to keep guns off the streets and away from children, there is no reason a child or a teenager should be able to get there hands on a gun...also I think there has to be metal detectors in all schools asap.Something has to be done...

I do not know about anyone elses feeling but I am so tired that our children are paying with their lives the decisions the adults have made!There has to be something done about the Guns in America! This is so Insane! I do not care what the Politics are or the Financial gain or loss! We need to stop this Insanity NOW! How many more times does this need to happen? How many more lives will be taken? We need GUN CONTROL! Not partial but FULL in your face GUN CONTROL! Please do something or tell us what to do! Twenty Children and 7 adults died needlessy today! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

20 children were murdered today in the United States. These children join the countless others in the United States who have been robbed of life through the barrel of a legally and easily purchased firearm. It's time to change the gun laws in this country. Please join me in writing to the President.

Our children's safety should take primacy over the unfettered access to guns that is the hallmark of this country.

After 31 school shootings, something MUST be done to stop this from happening again. President Obama, the Congress, the NRA and Mayors against gun violence need to construct reasonable guidelines to lower the chances a tragedy like this ever happening again!

Its obvious that the NRA has crippled any useful gun laws in this country and they have politicians running scared. Gun shows are the least regulated and controlled of the gun environment Its time to regulate the gun shows.

The December 14, 2012 school massacre in Newtown CT is only the most recent of an increasingly violent series of tragedies in our Country. Innocent children and adults have been slaughtered. It is time to state unequivocally that the Government of the United States of America enact permanent, immediate effect legislation to ban the sale and ownership of assault weapons and extended ammunition magazines.

Please Note: The following is a pledge, that you, the reader, are asked to take. While we must hold our elected officials accountable, I believe that each and every one of us is responsible to the extent we do not take action. Congress may restrict constitutional rights if necessary to protect the general public health and welfare. It is blatantly obvious that Congress must act to protect the public from the increasing incidences of mass casualties from gun violence. In order to motivate Congress to act, I am asking every citizen to take a pledge to not vote for any elected official who does not take a meaningful position in favor of gun control, either through support of legislation or a Constitutional Amendment.

My friends and relatives have been affected by the insane acts of a few gun-slinging beasts.
